Hence, after making a ser-vice reduction, and lapping the brakevalve, the air could feed into the for-ward portion of the brake pipe, increasethe pressure therein and release thebrakes. On account of the very slowfeeding in of the air from the sectionback of the reduced passage the brakeson that portion would commence to ap-ply when the others ahead were releas-ing, which probably gave you the im-pression that all brakes had released.

What will cause brakes to releaseon a train of twenty-nine cars, all brakescut in, in making a service application,with brakes fully applied, lapped brakevalve, all brakes released, engine tankand all. We could not find the cause,as engine equipment was in first classshape and engine brakes would not re-lease when the engine was cut off fromtrain and handle on lap. A.—Since thebrakes operated properly on the engineand tender when the engine was cut offfrom the train, it is evident that therewas no leak of main reservoir air intothe brake pipe, that could increase thepressure in the latter sufficiently to re-lease any brakes, hence the increase ofpressure in the brake pipe necessary torelease the bra
